Chapter 023: Consensus
An invisible crown of thorns, silently dedicating his life to the Dande Kingdom, is awe-inspiring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But at this time, Sauron didn't blame himself for what he had become, because it wasn't Zoro's fault.
Everyone has a private yu, and the private yu makes people greedy and shameless, makes people corrupt and degenerate, and makes people lose their moral dignity -- yes, the magic ring is actually selfish desires, not so much that the magic ring tempts themselves, but that it is the fire of people's selfish desires that forges the magic ring, don't care about the ring itself, it is just a carrier, an incarnation, it is not necessarily on the finger, but in everyone's heart, it is everyone's heart demon!
The Lord of the Rings can use people's hearts to lay traps, and the stronger the hopes, the easier it is to be controlled. Sauron was convinced of this, but he had a natural advantage to avoid this trap.
"Good. Edie, I'm pretty sure you'll agree, there are some things that can't be taken back, just like the ring, there's no room for regret. From now on, you should call me Evil Eye, or Sauron. Whichever one you call it, I don't think you'll be that 'kid who sows in a farmer's field' anymore. You'll know what to do in the future, maybe you shouldn't know at all. ā
The terrible pain was fading, and Edie's deep eyes were bright and alert again, but the wrinkles in his eyes and the corners of his mouth were still painful.
"I walk in the shadows, stretching every sense in search of every threat. I do my part to protect Dande. Being alive is probably too important to me. I must keep the territory of this kingdom intact. Maybe you don't have to think about what I'll 'reciprocate' to you when your trick will one day fail. But until then...... Idi pulled himself to his senses, his fists clenched, and he glanced at the corner of Sauron's clothes with his usual thoughtful eyes, "even if you can control me, the prince of the Dander Kingdom will not be willing to be a child's doll, and if that is the case, I would rather let this ship sink." So whatever your purpose is. At the very least, we should have a consensus to ensure that we don't perish together. ā
Edie's faint threat made Zoro breathe a sigh of relief. Even Edie is defiant of death. Before he was corrupted by the Ring, he would value glory more than his life and what he loved most. Now, the power of the Ring seems to have imprisoned his anger, courage, and determination.
Pity...... To compromise is to give in.
Edie can't be considered a real ringwraith now, so he has room to talk like that. Sauron believed that this condition was only temporary, and that his soul would eventually be completely corrupted by the Ring. In fact, Sauron was in no hurry to make him become like the Witch King of Angmar, a humanoid cloak.
A Montenegrin prince is more useful than a Montenegrin ringing spirit. Isn't it?
"Life is always a foggy crossroads, and believe it or not, that's not what I intended. I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do. In the meantime, please don't interfere with me. I'll keep my word, and you'll have to keep your word, that's all. ā
The estrangement has become moldy, and has become hatred, resentment, or something more negative.
Words are hard to convey what Sauron is trying to say. Maybe in the future, by talking with awareness and sharing thoughts, Edie will really understand herself. Sauron thought.
But in any case, it's the best thing to do. The Lord of the Rings couldn't fully control him, but Zoro knew that Edie couldn't be himself again. As time passed, only obedience to the One Ring was the only meaning of his existence in this world.
"Good. I'm sure you'll keep your word. In fact, even if you disobey it, I won't be afraid of anything. Whatever Edie's true feelings, his only option at this moment is to compromise. His tone was firm but his voice grew weaker, and a feeling of relief and dizziness caused Edie to collapse on the damp deck with exhaustion before he regained his freedom.
Like a quick and effective deadly poison powder, it brings a terrible pain that even the gods cannot bear.
Edie thought bitterly, then tried to regain the thought. For the first time in his life, for Zoron, Edie felt that he had misjudged something.
"Edie, not just tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, remember, I don't allow it, don't bother me."
A powerful silver shadow, Edie was very good at protecting himself, and when he recalled Zoro's completely indifferent tone, his face suddenly showed an uncertain look again, no matter what, everything that had just happened had hit his heart hard.
"Yes."
He uttered the words almost uncontrollably, and watched as Zoro departed, his astonishment turning Edie's face pale. It took a great deal of effort to stop his urge to bow. Maybe it wasn't until this second that Edie realized that this kid's magic trick was even more terrifying than he imagined.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ When he turned to leave, Zoro rummaged through his body, but he couldn't find the purple gold badge. In this incident, the Witch King of Angmar was seriously injured, and the loss of this badge was his two major losses.
Unfinished magic wasn't very destructive, except for destroying a trivial part of the medium-sized transport, and only causing six Shadows to fall overboard and suffer minor injuries.
Struggling on the brink of life and death, now safe and sound. Everything that happened dramatically made Zoro laugh out loud, "This is really a good joke made by the god of fate. ā
Sauron could sense that the Witch King of Angmar was still on the ship, and tried to communicate with him with his consciousness.
"I need to sleep......" Angmar's message quickly disappeared from Sauron's mind like a burst soap bubble, and Sauron didn't say anything more, he slowly walked down the stairs to the bottom of the deck. He could hear someone on the other side of the deck urging the crew and others to repair the damaged part of the hull during the day.
In addition to this, when arriving on the second deck, which belonged to the sailors, Sauron quickly smelled the smell of feet and all kinds of strange smells.
"Damn, the wine we were given tasted like horse urine mixed with black crows."
"Be quiet, you guy, you're heard by the Black Crows, they'll take turns patronizing your asshole tonight."
The seafaring sailors were full of foul language, and looked down on the deck guards with black crows embroidered on their chests, but they did not dare to speak too loudly, and they talked more about the tides, storms, mysterious islands, man-eating sea monsters, and the night so dark that even the stars refused to come out to navigate.
Passing through the middle, no one noticed the little man Sauron, at this time, not only did the Witch King of Angmar need to recuperate, but Sauron now also wanted to be alone and sleep well. The magic had already overdrawn his mental strength, plus several dark wounds from the explosion. Aside from the pain and fatigue, Sauron felt intermittent when he connected with Angmar with his consciousness. He figured he didn't have the strength to get back to the stern.
But looking at the group of sweaty sailors, Zoro couldn't help but wonder if he could find a secluded place. Until he made his way through the middle deck, past a pile of supplies that were being transported to the greenery. At the corner of the stairs on the lower deck, he found a small, fairly clean cabin, and walked in without looking inside.
